Itinerary
The icon of Brazil. The majestic Christ the Redeemer. Symbol of the wonderful city, the 30mts statue stands on the top of Corcovado Hill about 700 meters above sea level where we will stay for 40 minutes, giving us enough time to take pictures and enjoy the incredible panoramic view of the city.
La Escalera de Selarón, this "living work" by the Chilean artist, Jorge Selarón where we enter into this magnificent project created with mosaics of colors from around the world. In addition we will know the history behind this artist and his work.
We continue our tour in the Metropolitan Cathedral. With a modern architecture, huge stained glass windows of 70mts high and a monumental wooden cross, it is dedicated to the patron saint of the city, São Sebastião. Incredible place to retrace this modern work.
Cultural icon of Rio, we can know this place full of energy and magic, which during the days of carnival hosts one of the largest festivals in the world.
We will visit the gigantic Maracanã stadium in an exterior visit, always accompanied by the guide who will provide information to enrich the experience even more.
To end the tour, we will go to the Sugar Loaf Complex where we will walk by cable car until we reach the top of the Urca hill and the Pan de Azúcar hill and where we can discover the best view of Rio de Janeiro.

I AM QUIET THAT MY DAUGHTER TRAVEL WITH THE SERVICES OF RIO IMPERIO TURISMO
I am Stefi's mother, one of the travelers. We mothers, especially, are too worried when our children travel alone...I found this agency that, in addition to the professionalism they showed to the group in all the programming of the tours, transportation, accommodation; They demonstrated something fundamental, basic, essential for me and my husband, the HUMAN SIDE, since I started contact I did not stop calling and they were always ready to answer any concerns at all times, during their services they informed me with photos and all information necessary when they picked up the group, then I felt a lot of TRANQUILITY, every arrival at any point they had me informed, after that I just waited for my daughter and her group to enjoy themselves, and to hear my daughter say “MOMMY BELLA WE'RE GOING EXCELLENT, I'M HAPPY ”I knew they were in good hands. THANK YOU, Gerónimo, but especially RAMIRO, who never stopped serving us. I hope to be there soon to enjoy the tours. We wish them the best, the boys arrived safely.

Everything was very entertaining, our guide, Sandra was very friendly, cultured and excellent treatment, as well as cheerful. It was an excellent day, we enjoyed big and boys. If I return to Rio, I will not hesitate to hire the services of Rio Imperio. Thanks guys for everything!

Experience can improve
The tour is good and tours the most important places of river. What is missing is more information during the tour of the city by the guide. It is very simple the information they deliver and could make the experience for tourists a thousand times better. Another thing is that it is not clear if one can do the slouch tour by train or van. So it's good to give one the choice.

Excellent tour!
In my case, I made petropolis on a rainy day and it was very good experience, very interesting everything, and the coordinator very friendly and attentive to the group. Yesterday I did the river tour and it was fascinating. Sandra was very good and very cool. I highly recommend the Service provided by the agency. I hope to come back soon and do many things that I still need to know. Very grateful.
